Lynx doesn't have to like javascript.
David is talking about a working HTML page were javascript can do some of
the validation before the page is sent to avoid a round-trip to the server.
You are talking about a non-working HTML page where javascript is used to
perform basic functionality provided by HTML itself because of poor design.

The first will work fine on Lynx, the second won't, and is quite often
backed by an insecure server-side process (bizarrely I've seen some pages
where javascript was used to submit a form, but didn't perform any
validation - as far as I could make out the javascript existed purely to
make the page inaccessible).
